Victor Mono Typeface
Julia has made symbol input manageable and lets you define infix operators for many of the Unicode symbols that make sense for that. [1] And JuliaMono was designed to support the symbols that Julia does. [2]
I generally do quite fine with my Compose Key configuration, though (even on Windows, where I use WinCompose). [3]

Hyphens, minus, and dashes in Debian man pages
On Windows, I use http://wincompose.info/ for all my special-character needs (and use the system compose key on Linux).

Credit to wincompose's GUI for inspiration, which provides similar functionality on Windows.

Writing Prettier Haskell with Unicode Syntax and Vim
I’ve previously used a nice little tool called WinCompose for exactly that. Looks like it’s still going:

My setup for conlanging. Vim, XeLaTex and Zathura. What do you guys use?
An essentially equivalent program for Windows is the WinCompose tool, which I used before making the switch to Linux.

GitHub Is Sued, and We May Learn Something About Creative Commons Licensing
They are available in most fonts with reasonable-or-better Unicode coverage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_subscripts_and_supersc...). 1, 2 and 3 are available in ISO-8859-1 so can sometimes be used in 8-bit-only text, but I'd use them with care in that context.
To type them easily you'll usually need composition (sometimes called chording) support. Some Linux (and other Unix) distributions still have this built in by default, though last time I used Linux for much desktop use it seemed to be fading from common availability, otherwise you'll have to hunt for another method. On Windows I use http://wincompose.info/ (here [atlgr][^][1] produces “¹”, for instance, in the default settings) which is useful for a number of other things (I first started using it for accented characters like á on a UK keyboard). If you have a keyboard with programmable function keys then you could use its customisation tool to map some of them to produce the super-script (or sub-script) characters you commonly want.

Does anyone here speak ¼òÌåÖĐÎÄ?
Anyone on Windows needing to type accented/special characters, I recommend WinCompose.
Not a text extractor, but I use WinCompose (a Compose key implementation for Windows users). With that you can press something like Compose + 1 + 4 for ¼, or Compose + O + " for Ö (Right Alt serves as Compose). (Posting this in case someone may like it as well)

Bad Emacs Defaults
Huh, didn't know abbrev had that limitation (wonder why?). Gave it a go in espanso (https://espanso.org/), and it does work there.

Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
I use a tool called "Espanso" to accomplish something similar at work. It only runs locally, so no weird data scraping issues to worry about. And it's easy to update as things changes becauase everything lives in a simple yml file.
It can do simple text replacement, so I have words, phrases, and sentences I use frequently compressed into a few keyboard clicks. It can also grab what is in your clipboard, so that can be incorporated into responses, which is simple but very handy.
A simple text replacement looks like this in the yaml file:

A bit overkill but you could consider using a text expander like Espanso?

Curious to know what are your general experiences on using keyboard and mouse input automations on Wayland...
Autokey does not work yet, but there is Hawck and Espanso that you could play around with. And there is ydotool if all you need is simulating basic input (as in ydotool mousemove -x -10 -y -10, ydotool type 'Hello world!' and so on).

How to develop a menu of phrases?
Something like that is something I leave to a general text expander like Espanso rather than strictly Emacs. You get better cross-platform automation by directly entering your message in rather than dealing with copying and pasting. It even has little widgets you can use to select options from a list like I do when generating Jekyll frontmatter.
